This is now the case for RC5.
As a side effect, the OPTIONS in the Makefile will usually look a
little different now, but they are essentially only for information
anyway.
Add command line options -certform, -keyform and -pass to s_client and
s_server. This supports the use of alternative passphrase sources, key formats
and keys handled by an ENGINE.
Update docs.
This tidies up verify parameters and adds support for integrated policy

- update from current 0.9.7-stable CHANGES file:
Now here we have "CHANGES between 0.9.7e and 0.9.8", and I hope
that all patches mentioned for 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e actually are
in the CVS HEAD, i.e. what is to become 0.9.8.
I have rewritten the 'openssl ca -create_serial' entry (0.9.8)
so that it explains the earlier change that is now listed (0.9.7e).
The ENGINE_set_default typo bug entry has been moved from 0.9.8
to 0.9.7b, which is where it belongs.

changes are the fallout). As this could break source code that doesn't
directly include headers for interfaces it uses, changes to recursive
includes are covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. It's better to
define this when building and using openssl, and then adapt code where
necessary - this is how to stay current. However the mechanism exists for
the lethargic.
little TODO list in there as well as the debugging code (only enabled if
BN_CTX_DEBUG is defined).
I'd appreciate as much review and testing as can be spared for this. I'll
commit some changes to other parts of the bignum code shortly to make
better use of this implementation (no more fixed size limitations). Note
also that under identical optimisations, I'm seeing a noticable speed
increase over openssl-0.9.7 - so any feedback to confirm/deny this on other
systems would also be most welcome.
operations no longer require two distinct BN_CTX structures. This may put
more "strain" on the current BN_CTX implementation (which has a fixed limit
to the number of variables it will hold), but so far this limit is not
triggered by any of the tests pass and I will be changing BN_CTX in the
near future to avoid this problem anyway.
This also changes the default RSA implementation code to use the BN_CTX in
favour of initialising some of its variables locally in each function.

This change has associated tags: LEVITTE_before_const and
LEVITTE_after_const. Those will be removed when this change has been
properly reviewed.
Remove certain redundant BN_zero() initialisations, because BN_CTX_get(),

except internally to the allocator BN_CTX_new(), as such this deprecates
the use of BN_CTX_init() in the API. Moreover, the structure definition of
BN_CTX is taken out of bn_lcl.h and moved into bn_ctx.c itself.
NDEBUG should probably only be "forced" in the top-level configuration, but
until it is I will avoid removing it from bn_ctx.c which might surprise
people with massive slow-downs in their keygens. So I've left it in
bn_ctx.c but tidied up the preprocessor logic a touch and made it more
tolerant of debugging efforts.
choice but to have to cast away "const" qualifiers from their prototypes.
This does not remove constification restrictions from hash/compare
callbacks, but allows destructor commands to be run over a tables' elements
without bad casts.
linux system (namely mine) chokes on our definitions and uses of the "HZ"
symbol in crypto/tmdiff.[ch] and apps/speed.c as a "bad function cast"
(when in fact there is no function casting involved at all). In both cases,
it is easily worked around by not defining a cast into the macro and
jiggling the expressions slightly.
In addition - this highlights some cruft in openssl that needs sorting out.
The tmdiff.h header is exported as part of the openssl API despite the fact
that it is ugly as the driven sludge and not used anywhere in the library,
applications, or utilities. More weird still, almost identical code exists
in apps/speed.c though it looks to be slightly tweaked - so either tmdiff
should be updated and used by speed.c, or it should be dumped because it's
obviously not useful enough.
Rather than removing it for now, I've changed the API for tmdiff to at
least make sense. This involves taking the object type (MS_TM) from the
implementation and using it in the header rather than using "char *" in the
API and casting mercilessly in the code (ugh). If someone doesn't like
"MS_TM" and the "ms_time_***" naming, by all means change it. This should
be a harmless improvement, because the existing API is clearly not very
useful (eg. we reimplement it rather than using it in our own utils).
However, someone still needs to take a hack at consolidating speed.c and
tmdiff.[ch] somehow.
be) precompiled out in the API headers. This change is to ensure that if
it is defined when compiling openssl, the deprecated functions aren't
implemented either.
sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")

re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
situation in the script.
dsa_mod_exp() and bn_mod_exp() handlers from dsa_do_verify() and
dsa_sign_setup(). When another DSA_METHOD implementation does not define
these lower-level handlers, it becomes impossible to do a fallback to
software on errors using a simple DSA_OpenSSL()->fn(key).
This change allows the default DSA_METHOD to function in such circumstances
by only using dsa_mod_exp() and bn_mod_exp() handlers if they exist,
otherwise using BIGNUM implementations directly (which is what those
handlers did before this change). There should be no noticable difference
for the software case, or indeed any custom case that didn't already
segfault, except perhaps that there is now one less level of indirection in
all cases.

key-generation and prime-checking functions. Rather than explicitly passing
callback functions and caller-defined context data for the callbacks, a new
structure BN_GENCB is defined that encapsulates this; a pointer to the
structure is passed to all such functions instead.
This wrapper structure allows the encapsulation of "old" and "new" style
callbacks - "new" callbacks return a boolean result on the understanding
that returning FALSE should terminate keygen/primality processing. The
BN_GENCB abstraction will allow future callback modifications without
needing to break binary compatibility nor change the API function
prototypes. The new API functions have been given names ending in "_ex" and
the old functions are implemented as wrappers to the new ones. The
OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol has been introduced so that, if defined,
declaration of the older functions will be skipped. NB: Some
openssl-internal code will stick with the older callbacks for now, so
appropriate "#undef" logic will be put in place - this is in case the user
is *building* openssl (rather than *including* its headers) with this
symbol defined.
There is another change in the new _ex functions; the key-generation
functions do not return key structures but operate on structures passed by
the caller, the return value is a boolean. This will allow for a smoother
transition to having key-generation as "virtual function" in the various
***_METHOD tables.

Revert changes to ..._{get/set}_Jprojective_coordinates_...:
The current implementation for ECC over binary fields does not use
projective coordinates, and if it did, it would not use Jacobian
projective coordinates; so it's OK to use the ..._GFp prefix for all
this.

His comments are:
1) Changes all references for `True64' to be `Tru64', which is the correct
spelling for the OS name.
2) Makes `alpha-cc' be the same as `alpha164-cc', and adds an `alphaold-cc'
entry that is the same as the previous `alpha-cc'. The reason is that most
people these days are using the newer compiler, so it should be the default.
3) Adds a bit of commentary to Configure, regarding the name changes of
the OS over the years, so it's not so confusing to people that haven't been
with the OS for a while.
4) Adds an `alpha-cc-rpath' target (which is *not* selected automatically
by Configure under any circumstance) that builds an RPATH into the
shared libraries. This is explained in the comment in Configure. It's
very very useful for people that want it, and people that don't want it
just shouldn't choose that target.
5) Adds the `-pthread' flag as the best way to get POSIX thread support
from the newer compiler.
6) Updates the Makefile targets, so that when the `alpha164-cc', `alpha-cc',
or `alpha-cc-rpath' target is what Configure is set to use, it uses a Makefile
target that includes the `-msym' option when building the shared library.
This is a performance enhancement.
7) Updates `config' so that if it detects you're running version 4 or 5
of the OS, it automatically selects `alpha-cc', but uses `alphaold-cc'
for versions 1-3 of the OS.
8) Updates the comment in opensslv.h, fixing both the OS name typo and
adding a reference to IRIX 6.x, since the shared library semantics are
virtually identical there.
